You must be right. Even at Feedbooks, somebody can't use an ePub of Ulysses and a Feedbooks person responds:

This ePub file works perfectly well on DE desktop or Stanza though.
The main problem here is that Adobe introduced a limit to the size of a flow on their mobile port of DE for the Sony PRS-505/700. They don't support flows that are > 300k.
On Feedbooks, we follow the structure of the book, and switch to a new flow whenever there's a page break.
In Ulysses, there's hardly any page breaks aside those between the different parts: that's why some of the flows are > 300k.

We could add page breaks in the middle of the text to make sure that the flows are small enough, but for the moment we've decided to keep the original structure of the book rather than using page breaks where they should be none.
I'm sure you already knew all of that, HarryT. Just posting for anybody else who stumbles on this thread.
